My skills have mutated again!

Chapter 403 The Heartless Fifth System!
Wu Xin used flesh parasitism many times against different targets.

But never before has it been as difficult as this time.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this fake ruler seems to have many flaws in the eyes of the Immortal Emperor's avatar. This is only because the Immortal Emperor's avatar is at a very high level. After all, this is an Immortal Emperor from the late Destruction Era. In a few years, the time will come when the King of Kings will appear and a new universe will be established. The Immortal Emperor will then smoothly transform into one of the Six Pillars and the Creator of the Heavenly Dao.

From a timeline perspective, this Immortal Emperor avatar already possessed the vision of a Six Pillar level being, so he was naturally qualified to offer his opinions on the false ruler.

But Wuxin is, after all, a junior...

Strength and weakness need to be compared.

Compared to the Immortal Emperor, the Sovereign is no match; compared to Wuxin, this fake Sovereign is far superior.

The physical attributes, which were several orders of magnitude higher, suppressed the effect of flesh parasitism. Completely devouring it was out of the question, and the time it could parasitize was also greatly shortened. Wu Xin estimated that it could only parasitize the Overlord for a few seconds, weakening the Overlord's racial value and basic attributes by less than 10,000 points—which was no different from being ineffective for the Overlord.

However, the purpose of this flesh-and-blood parasitism was not to weaken the Dominator's attributes.

This is just the starting move of Wuxin's fifth system!

Within the Sovereign's body, the mindless consciousness flowed slowly like a trickle.

As the son of the Immortal Emperor, the world only sees the nurturing and investment he received, but they are unaware of the responsibilities and missions he was born with.

He is the son of the Creator of Heaven.

But they were also born as weapons created by the Heavenly Dao!
Each investment is like a whetstone, sharpening this knife to an ever-sharpening edge!

And at this very moment, the demon sword is drawn, and the day is for him to serve his father faithfully.

Donald once said that the Demon Emperor's orders were more important than his own life! Applying this to Wuxin, the sentiment would be even stronger!

A deep and eerie black light suddenly burst forth from the Sovereign's body.

Wuxin used the tenth skill in his skill set!
【Dao Heart Grafting (Six Pillars Level): Active skill, exclusive to the Immortal Path. Grafts your soul onto the target's soul, achieving a deep fusion! After this skill takes effect, depending on the strength of both souls, you may be able to perfectly possess the other, or you may be digested and absorbed by the other, becoming nourishment to enhance their soul power!】
Note: The effectiveness of this skill is subject to multiple factors; please use it with caution!

This is a body-snatching skill specially designed for Wuxin by the Creator of Heaven. Its strength is self-evident; it is undoubtedly one of the strongest skills of its kind.

Under the conflict between the old and new universe rules, this skill, like a parasite, can also be effective against this fake overlord.

However, there are two problems here.

First, there's the issue of skill effects: Soul strength isn't a separate attribute. If there aren't any skills that specialize in soul strength, then generally speaking, soul strength and physical attributes are strongly linked!
The stronger the physical body and the higher its attributes, the stronger the soul will generally be.

Based on the current comparison of Wuxin's and the fake ruler's attributes, Wuxin's grafting of Dao hearts doesn't seem like possession, but rather more like actively offering himself up...

Secondly... the ruler who unintentionally took over the body was a fake.

Even if you succeed in possessing a body, what does it mean if you possess a fake one?

However, Donald, who had prior knowledge of much information, showed no surprise. He and his ancestral army remained motionless, still waiting, though his expression grew increasingly solemn.

Xia Lin, who had learned some information from the Demon Emperor beforehand, also had no doubts...

Because this plan... the plan that the Demon Emperor called the usurpation plan was not unintentionally devised, but rather the work of the Heavenly Dao Creator!
Xia Lin couldn't believe that there could be such an obvious flaw in the Heavenly Dao Creator's plan.

As the Sovereign emitted light once more, Xia Lin sighed softly in his heart.

"Sure enough."

"This technique can solve the problem of soul strength."

……

As the light flashed, Xia Lin witnessed Wu Xin's fifth talent... his last and most deeply hidden talent.

[Talent 5: Ancient and Undying Soul (Six Pillar Level): Your soul, having undergone the baptism of time and traversed the rules of both the old and new universes, possesses not only the characteristics of the new universe but also those of the ancient universe. Due to the conflict of cosmic rules, you should have long since perished, yet you have survived to this day! This grants your soul a certain degree of immortality!]
With this gift, your soul cannot be erased by any means. No matter how great the trauma you suffer, you can always leave behind a wisp of your spirit as a seed of hope!

This talent is very strong.

Even Xia Lin felt that this talent might be able to overpower the "ignore resurrection-based kill" ability, giving Wuxin a conceptual-level power of immortality.

But Xia Lin didn't think this talent was a bug.

Because, deep down, Xia Lin believed that this was something she didn't deserve.

Clearly, this talent is one that Wuxin should possess—besides the Six Pillars, Wuxin is currently the only one known to have a legendary experience spanning the old and new universes.

Not to mention the soul of the past, which was personally created and prepared by the Immortal Emperor, who added countless potent ingredients to it.

During the previous audience with the Six Pillars, a certain remark from the Demon Emperor suddenly surfaced from the depths of his memory.

"Wuxin is the son of the Immortal Emperor, but I prefer to call him: the Pre-made Man."

"His resurrection was a customized resurrection, a program that was set before his resurrection."

……

When the talents of the Ancient and Undying Souls took effect, the False Overlord was immediately controlled and became motionless.

However, from a micro perspective, the ruler is not standing still; he has simply shifted the battlefield to a deeper level.

—A new battlefield was unintentionally opened up within His body!
The skills of grafting flesh and blood onto the Dao heart create a profound collision, struggle, and even a slow but firm fusion between the mindless spirit and flesh and the domineering spirit and flesh.

Originally, the ruler should have been able to win this battle very easily—in terms of attributes, He could have expelled the heartless flesh and blood and digested the heartless souls in a short time.

But the undying soul erected a solid barrier on the path to victory for the ruler!

One of the true Six Pillars: the Ancient Ruler, is definitely not afraid of you... what kind of Six Pillars-level talent, what kind of Ancient and Undying Soul, I, one of the Six Pillars, can easily defeat you without having to care about all this nonsense. It's just a matter of a flick of my finger.

But this false ruler cannot do it.

Without the God-given Stone, He has no status among the Six Pillars. Due to the difference in the rules of the old and new universes, He doesn't even have the God-given power of transcendence... He is just an ultimate brute with maxed-out physical attributes, equivalent to a limit-breaker who is not suppressed by the rules of the professional system, has no attribute limit, and has raised the attribute limit to the extreme!
Thus, what should have been a micro-battle decided in a few seconds turned into a long, drawn-out struggle.

And when the unintentional eleventh item takes effect, this endless bladder-like situation will never end!
[Soul and Body in Harmony (Racial Heritage Level): Passive Skill. Your body and soul are perfectly integrated and inseparable. Any damage or effects on your body/soul will be distributed to your soul/body.]

This skill can be considered a simple damage reduction skill.

However, in the current situation, this skill becomes troublesome against the fake Overlord.

—The Old Days and the Undying Soul can only guarantee that the Heartless Soul will not be devoured by the Overlord, but they cannot guarantee that the Heartless Flesh will not be rejected… And when the Soul-Flesh Fusion skill takes effect, well, this time the Overlord can't even expel the Heartless Flesh from his body…

So these two are intertwined, each within the other. No matter how strong you are, I will not perish, I will not die, I will remain within you, and you cannot do anything to me.

The ruler is going crazy.

He roared, he raged, he went berserk and smashed everything around him, detonating space itself.

Unfortunately, just as Wuxin entered His body, the Immortal Emperor's clones, the Four Kings of the Black Domain, and others around him had already distanced themselves.

The Immortal Emperor's avatar knew everything, stood with his arms crossed, and waited quietly—just like Donald, Xia Lin, and the Demon Emperor's avatar who had not yet appeared.

The four kings of the Black Domain had already sensed something was amiss.

They gathered together, ignoring their injuries and the weakness after their resurrection, and simply looked at each other. Soon, the Blazing Light, Hein, sighed softly.

"We seem to have gotten caught up in the Six Pillars Formation..."

Even the most oblivious person would notice something amiss in this situation.

Originally, the villains of the Black Domain were fearless and ruthless scoundrels who couldn't make a living outside... Even knowing that Wuxin was the son of the Six Pillars, they still dared to attack him.

"I've already hidden myself in the Dark Domain. If I still have to worry about you Six Pillars, then I've come all this way for nothing."

But daring to take action and daring to participate in the Six Pillars Formation are two different concepts, similar to the difference between fishing in shallow water and exploring a 10,000-meter-deep ocean trench.

So naturally, these four people wanted to run away, and didn't even want to be greedy for that cosmic bug anymore...

However, just as the four were about to retreat, the Immortal Emperor's avatar suddenly spoke.

"Work for me, and once the task is accomplished, I will allow you to leave the Dark Domain. I may even personally help you rid yourself of the pollution of the Primordial Dark Side."

He turned to look at the four kings of the Black Domain who were standing there, and smiled, "This is not my promise now, but my promise for the future."

"This promise is sworn by the Heavenly Dao!"

"So? Is this a bargaining chip worth risking your lives for?"

The four kings of the Black Domain had unpredictable expressions—although most of them couldn't discern facial expressions.

However, the words of the Immortal Emperor's avatar still stirred up a storm in their hearts.

People from the Black Domain are daring, willing to fight, gamble, and even risk their lives—without these qualities, you can't make it in the Black Domain.

Therefore, even knowing the risks, this group of people were still tempted...

The Immortal Emperor added, "I won't make things difficult for you, nor will I push you into a fire pit. What I need you to do is very simple..."

He raised his hand and pointed precisely to Xia Lin's hiding place.

The light of the Heavenly Dao Equation flashed out once more, dispelling the fog that concealed Xia Lin and even eliminating his disguise as Nikolai, completely exposing Xia Lin's figure to the Four Kings of the Black Domain.

The Immortal Emperor slowly said, "Kill him, it's that simple."

Xia Lin's face instantly turned sinister.

Meeting the Immortal Emperor's malicious gaze, Xia Lin realized something.

The Immortal Emperor probably guessed that he was carrying out a commission from the Demon Emperor.

At this moment, the Immortal Emperor intends to use someone else to kill him, eliminating this potential threat in advance.

But soon, Xia Lin grinned.

Just as the four kings of the Black Domain were about to make their move, a mysterious black light suddenly swept in, blurring the lines between reality and illusion.

From the deepest part of the Xuan Guang, the sounds of cats meowing, dogs barking, and dragons roaring rang out one after another, and in an instant, three different figures appeared beside Xia Lin.

—The Dream Lord, Greed Lord, and Star Lord, created by the Demon Emperor's clone using the Dream Come True technique, are a fake within a fake!
The Demon Emperor's intervention was not unexpected.

After all, what you, the Celestial Emperor, want to do is exactly what I need to stop.

Therefore, even though he had no intelligence channels and was unaware of the full picture, the Demon Emperor's clone still appeared in front of the Immortal Emperor's clone.

Two sworn enemies reunite.

"What kind of skill is it to bully the younger generation? Shall we have a go?"

The Immortal Emperor shrugged slightly: "Then we'll have to find a quieter place."

The space suddenly cracked and collapsed, and the figures of the two emperors, the immortal and the demon, instantly disappeared.

Xia Lin also turned to look at the cat, dog, and dragon that had taken up their seats beside him.

He wanted to say hello, but found that these three fake pets didn't discuss tactics with him or exchange glances.

It merely harbors a ferocious aura, ready to strike at any moment.

Xia Lin let out a soft sigh.

Soul Masters and Soul Pets are of one mind. The Demon Emperor of the late era became like that, and naturally, the Soul Pets under the Demon Emperor's command also changed.

Furthermore, their essence is a simulation of dreams coming true.

These are just three highly refined combat machines.

Looking up again, I saw the four kings of the Black Domain in the distance.

To be honest, Xia Lin didn't want the Four Kings of the Black Domain to agree to the Immortal Emperor's offer of allegiance... but firstly, he couldn't silence the Immortal Emperor's avatar, and secondly, he couldn't change the mind of the Four Kings of the Black Domain.

After a brief but intense discussion, the four kings of the Black Domain all looked down at Xia Lin and his three pets.

After a quick assessment and detailed analysis, confirming that these three fake soul pets were by no means invincible, malice surged instantly.

Don't persuade others to be kind to others without suffering.

Only those at the level 12 of the Dark Realm know the immense pressure the Primordial Dark Side exerted on them!
Right now, the leader of the Six Pillars has made a promise that the freedom to leave the Dark Domain is secondary; they cannot let go of the pollution of the Primordial Dark Side no matter what! In fact, the fact that the Dark Domain at level twelve needs things like the Book of Spirits and the Jade of Karma to restrain evil gods is precisely to hunt evil gods, extract their power, and thus slow down the pollution of the Primordial Dark Side on them, allowing them to last longer.

They were eager to take this kind of "painkiller," so how could they miss out on a solution that could solve the problem once and for all?

Xia Lin shook his head and didn't say anything more.

As the skill sets rapidly changed, the Emperor Engine began to roar, and the Heavenly Dao Equation slowly emitted light.

"Let me taste the flavor of these six core techniques."

However, even as the level 12 approached, Xia Lin still reserved a sliver of energy to keep an eye on the situation of the fake overlord and Wuxin.

After a period of frenzy, the false overlord has stabilized and stands motionless in place.

It's not hard to see the emotions in his heart from those wide-open eyes.

A great deal of anger, and a little bit of doubt, but which is gradually deepening.

Overlord: "No... something's wrong..."

He's just reckless, not really stupid.

As things have progressed to this point, even the ruler, who dislikes using his brain, can sense something amiss.

The identities of these mysterious visitors are suspicious... but the reason why is suspicious is something the Overlord simply cannot guess.

The ability of Wuxin is inappropriate... His skill judgment effect is stronger than that of the Foundation level... When did a skill higher than the Foundation level appear in the ancient world? Even with the mind of the Overlord, He still couldn't understand this.

Another problem is...

"Where is my God-given stone? Where did my huge God-given stone go?"

With the divinely bestowed stone protecting them, the rulers were fearless... but without the divinely bestowed stone, the rulers of this period had too many flaws.

He certainly understood the significance of the God-given Stone to Him, but at this moment, looking around and looking inside, He could not find any trace of the God-given Stone, and the Sovereign panicked.

In that moment of panic, an unintentional voice suddenly emerged from the depths of His soul and resounded in His mind.

"wake up!"

"Haven't you realized you're just a fake?!"

The sound was deafening and resonated deep within!

This is not just a reminder or a wake-up call, but also an unintentional skill 12, a word that awakens one from a dream.

【A Word to Awaken the Dreamer (Level Six): Active Skill! Consumes 1 Spirit Power to activate this skill, greatly enhancing the persuasiveness of the following statement! If what you say next is a fact unknown to the recipient, the effect of this skill will be greatly amplified! If what you say frightens or terrifies the recipient, the effect of this skill will be further enhanced according to the degree of fright!】

Note: This skill ignores all data differences, and its effectiveness depends only on a few points in the skill description.

Note: Theoretically, this skill's strongest effect can completely destroy the enemy's will, turning them into a puppet that obeys your every command!

A word to awaken the dreamer.

It can also be called "the guidance of an immortal"...

The application scenarios for this skill are extremely narrow, but right now is the best time for this skill to shine!
It takes the ancient and immortal soul talents as its core, and uses skills such as flesh and blood parasitism, Dao heart grafting, spirit and flesh unity, and awakening people from their dreams as its components!

The fifth system, which was unintentional, began to take shape.

Unlike the Immortal Path system, the Curse Sealing system, the Undying Evolution system, and the Life and Death Dual System.

The fifth system designed for unintentional individuals is completely customized and specifically tailored to their needs!
This system is specifically designed for the current situation!
This single statement was a wake-up call, and its effect on the false ruler was ridiculously good.

He was already panicking and on the verge of breaking down.

What Wuxin said was all true... and the fake ruler vaguely realized this, but did not fully understand it.

Once the Overlord, under the effect of his skill, understood the current situation, his words were like a wake-up call, activating the full potential and unleashing his full power.

The effect wasn't said to reach the maximum value, but it's not much weaker than the maximum value!
A magnificent sound exploded in the ruler's mind in an instant, causing the ruler's eyes to become blank for a moment.

In that very moment of bewilderment, his eyes cleared again, but with a different gleam—the look of unintentionality!

At this moment, he overturned the hierarchy of primary and secondary, strong and weak, and took over the body and soul of this false ruler.

Of course, this is not permanent... only temporary.

To put it simply, this combo relies on the old and the immortal soul as a safety net to survive, and then uses a single word to wake someone up from their slumber and create an opportunity.

It's like "when the tiger is away, the monkey becomes king"—of course, the tiger isn't dead, it's just gone out. When the tiger returns home, the monkey still has to obediently step down.

But all Wuxin needs is a little bit of time.

He controlled the body of the Overlord, slowly turned his head, and looked at another deserted place.

That was Donald's hiding place.

Through covert means, their eyes met.

Their eyes met, and both of them narrowed their eyes.

"Still waiting?"

"Yes, we still have to wait."

"How long are you going to wait?"

"Nature is the most crucial moment."

The enigmatic dialogue unfolded rapidly, yet contained a wealth of information.

Thus, both sides understood this matter.

The current situation is still entirely under the control of both sides—a step that the Immortal Emperor and the Demon Emperor had already calculated.

Unwilling to control the body of the fake ruler, he nodded slightly.

"Then I think the next steps will probably be just as you expected."

After saying that, he grinned and said, "After all, you personally delivered the medicinal ingredient to my door..."

Skill swap!
The addition of causal entanglement to the violation judgment... fills the last position of the violation judgment, and this extremely useful skill has thus been given a six-pillar level judgment!

The light of the essence of time travel shines once more.

At this moment, Wuxin, controlling the body of the fake overlord, raised his fists high!

"I have no intention."

"I am the false ruler of the old."

"A gift for you!"

I have no intention of offering you this gift.

The false sovereign does not actually possess this skill... He was originally the sovereign and ruler of the past, and it was always others who offered Him gifts. How could He offer gifts to others?

But these words are not just for boosting morale; they have an effect!
The reason it worked was due to Donald's previous actions—he and Ocres used bloodline magic to transfer the power of the Limit Breaker to Wuxin, thereby making Wuxin attract the attention of the Old Ruler.

Originally, the ancient ruler was gazing at him, and this shout further deepened this causal connection, causing the ancient ruler to project even more power.

The essence of transdimensionality begins to loosen the rules of the dark realm, helping the ruler open a pathway.

The causal entanglement at the level of the Six Pillars is further enhanced by the strong causal connection between the true and false rulers, which illuminates the direction for one of the true Six Pillars, the ancient ruler!

Wuxin was like a giant torch, guiding the power of one of the Six Pillars to penetrate the domain of another Six Pillar and project it onto himself in this place.

However, this move is tantamount to an invasion of one's territory by a foreign enemy, which will inevitably provoke a counterattack from the original dark side!
The original dark side has no intelligence... but it has instincts.

Instinct can be more terrifying than intelligence at times.

The heavens and earth began to churn, and this fragment of subconsciousness began to tremble.

The power of the ancient ruler has been slow to arrive—even without discussing who is stronger between the two pillars, the defender will inevitably have the advantage over the attacker.

The primordial dark side has never been easy to deal with.

Unperturbed, Wuxin simply looked down at the person next to Donald once more.

"It's your turn, Ocres."

Ocres responded to Wuxin's call, stepping out from beside Donald and ascending the steps to quickly reach Wuxin's side.

Donald made no comment on this.

Because this is not only what Wuxin and the people behind him want to see, but also what Donald and the people behind him want to see, and even more so what Ocres and the people behind him want to see.

Even if we didn't exchange statements, even if we didn't communicate beforehand, even if we remained hostile and it was always either of us.

But when things reached this stage, the three parties surprisingly showed remarkable tacit understanding.

……

"After all, the success or failure of a plan depends not only on its own design, but also on the cooperation of the opponent."

"Intrigues lead nowhere; open strategies are the only way forward... This is the lesson I learned from the Junyou and Yuanchu Dark Side incident last time."

Within the Dark Domain, in the space where the Four Pillars reside.

As if sensing the unfolding events, the Creator of Heaven slowly spoke.

This drew a cold snort from Wen Yu.

Yes, He knew all along that this was not a conspiracy, but an open strategy.

Even in the early stages, the Demon Emperor guided Donald to actively cooperate with Wuxin to complete this plan.

The Demon Emperor was unwilling to admit his tacit understanding with the Creator of Heaven, but it was a fact—he and the Creator of Heaven were the most in sync...

He slowly opened his mouth and said, "Now, the real test will begin."

Beside him, Chaoxing said with a smile, "It's not like you two are going to have a real showdown. The reason we chose the Dark Realm as the venue is not only because of the skill judgment factors that require those fakes, but also to isolate us from interference... So who will have the last laugh between you two doesn't depend on the two of you, but on the little guys who actually get on the stage."

The plan was to build a stage, a platform that would be free from, or at least minimally affected by, interference from those in higher positions.

Thus, the outcome of this duel shifted to the performers.

Wuxin, Donald, Xia Lin...

"Actually, there's something else I'm curious about..."

The King of Kings suddenly spoke, attracting the attention of the other three pillars.

The absolute neutral figure was leisurely leaning back on the dragon throne, crossing his legs and looking at the Immortal Emperor and the Demon Emperor.

He said slowly, "If the biggest winner of this round is not one of you two, but someone else, how would you feel?"

These words made the other three pillars laugh.

“I really like what Chaoxing said…” The Creator of Heavenly Dao said with a smile, enunciating each word clearly: “No matter what the outcome, as long as it brings about change, it’s good.”

The King of Kings shook his head: "I believe what Wen Yu said, and I believe it even more when Xiao Lu says it, but I don't believe what you say... In terms of mentality, you are the one who can't afford to lose the most."

The Immortal Emperor simply smiled and shook his head.

In a moment of spiritual intuition, He seemed to sense something and spoke again.

"Act Two begins."
